Balloons and Droids
"Move between islands and protect Earth from attacking droids." And you get to do it in a balloon!
"Move between islands and protect Earth from attacking droids." And you get to do it in a balloon!
This is a fun little arcade shoot-em-up game by Brent Silby. The basic premise is that you move out the bottom of a big hot air balloon and shoot waves of attacking droids.
The background graphics look a bit MS Paint-ish but the Mega Man sprite in the balloon seat makes up for that! The droids look familiar as well, but I can't place them.
If you're playing in IE, you can turn on some delicious Midi music by pressing "S". It did not seem to work in Firefox, though, which might just be for the best.

Isn't this the game Puuyan from the C64 days?

Incredibly though, the internets seem so to have no knowledge of puuyan at all, maybe I misremembered the name?
I believe you're thinking of Pooyan, and yes, it's basically the same gameplay.
